Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is common in tuberculosis (TB) and may be implicated in the etiology of the disease and in its clinical course. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between leptin, inflammatory markers and VD status in TB patients, stratified for presence or absence of diabetes mellitus (DM). Two hundred ninety-nine TB patients were recruited from October 2015 to August 2016.

- Scientists in Shandong studied how sleep quality affects the risk of getting tuberculosis (TB) in people with diabetes from January to December 2017.
- They compared 79 patients who had both diabetes and TB to 169 people who only had diabetes and found that poor sleep might make TB more likely.
- Particularly, people with diabetes for over 5 years and poor sleep quality had more than three times the risk of getting TB. This shows that improving sleep could help control TB in these patients.
